The Washington critic., 1887-01-18

ceedngs took quite the form of n rev.
olutlonary protest against the authority
of the Archbishop, Tammany Hall,
Mayor Hewitt and the Vatican. The
great principle was announced that no
American citizen eau he questioned In
a foreign country for his course In
American politics. If this means re.
pudialion of papal Intervention in the
government of the Church. It may fore.
cast a serious schism. Said Mr.. lIcaly
of the Irish lloyh:
W. recognize that In such a tremendous or
gonllntlon as the Catholic Church something
will get out OF order, but the mixing Of faith
and dogma with political rights will not br
permitted by Us. | shall not question thr
Archbishop, motives but want to say to
hlm that while in ecclesiastical learning he Is
sound IN matters OF political economy he Is
only I'm amateur When he attempts to co.
cree rs VIC say tn him, You are no longer
Archbishop; you are o private citizen, and
would du well TO learn Of Dr. Edward Nc.
Glyun."
And Mr. Henry George from the
background looks upon the spectacle
with intense interest, If not with unal.
loyed satisfaction, at rs combination Of
dcmagogucry and religion.
Tue World informs an inquiring
correspondent that it has not advocated
the nomination of Governor Hill for
President, nor does it propose to com.
nit itself TO anybody just yet. "rhe

niul Celebration Of 1850, provided IL
can be held in New ! ork TO boom its
spring trade for that year Congress
and the people generally seem agreed
that the only proper place for the cele-
bration Is the National Capital. It
needs no argument to show that an
anniversary of the beginning of Con-
siitullonal Government in this country
should he commemoratcd at the seat Of
the Government
JEHU BAEER, the Congressman elect
from Mr.. Morrison's district, estimates
that the population of the United States
in the year 1000 at the present ratio
Of increase, will be PIG, 900 900, or more
than three and half times what it is
now. While Mr. Baker is in a statistl.
cal mood, will he have the kindness to
inform us about how long the census
report of that year would be in getting
out, judging by the time required to
complete and print the census of 1899 ?
Mr.. CHARLES w. IRIsn of Iowa,
who was recently appointed Surveyor
General of Nebraska, stands in danger
of rejection by the Senate, on the
ground of his non.residcnce in the
State to which he is appointed. He is
n competent and deserving gentleman,
whose friends will regret the turn that
things seem to be taking; but the prin.
ciple involved is evidently getting
strong hold of the Senate just now.
Mr.. Irish is a brother of John p. Irish
of California.
If BISMARCK is unable TO get the
Army bill he wants, he will probably
take the best he can get The less that
is voted for war purposes the sooner
will the war, which he deems necessary
to checkmatc the Frenchman, have to
begin. The three year bill may do for
today but it will not do to wait till to.
morrow on seven year bill that may
never pass.
News from the Stanley Expedition
for the relief of Emin Bey may be cX-
pccted in July next, when the monot-
ouy of the mid summer most needs to
be broken, Mr.. Stanley, as an old
newspaper man, could not have timed
his expedition TO better suit the press.
THE Post suggests that the "iutoNi.
